Is cod fish bad for gout?

No, cod fish is not bad for gout. Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints, causing pain and swelling. Certain foods, such as red meat, organ meats, and some types of seafood (e.g., sardines, anchovies, and mussels) are high in purines, which can break down into uric acid and potentially trigger gout attacks. Cod fish, however, is a low-purine fish and is generally considered safe for individuals with gout.
